For the majority of the first half today Rangers played like a team with passion and had some fight about them. They had Alloa on the back foot and forced them to make mistakes, which ultimately led to the goal. What I don't understand is why the second half was so different. Rangers reverted to defending and inviting the pressure from Alloa. If Alloa had taken some of the chances they created it would have been a different story. The conditions today were far from ideal so I'll accept it on that basis. A similar performance against Hearts will see a score line not to far from that at Easter Road in December.

I've watched Alloa a few times this year, and from what I've seen their league position doesn't do them justice. They are a well organised side under Barry Smith, and most of the players give 100% which is more than can be said for a lot of the Rangers team. They held their own, and were unlucky not to get anything when they players Hearts at Recreation park (Hearts scored a lucky goal from a free kick) and they beat Hibs in the first game there too. Watched them against Falkirk on Saturday and they played a lot on the break, and the result would have been different if they had taken the chances they created. I'll be there again tomorrow and will be hopeful it will be 4th time lucky for Rangers.

Was never going to be an easy game today. Peterhead were always going to play at their very best against us and in front of the TV cameras. We never turned up today, and ultimately it has cost us 2 points. Hopefully this will change the players attitudes, and they might begin to realise that they can't just turn up to these games and expect to win. It's up to the manager to motivate the players before going on the pitch. It's up to the captain to motivate and lead the players when they are on the pitch. Ultimately today, neither happened and it showed in the performance. Bocanegra's game was not that of a captain, and the disorganisation was clear to see in the defence. He is either not match sharp, or purely doesn't want to be a Rangers player. Either way, things will need to change before our next game. The season has only just begun. No need to be calling for heads just yet.
